Parameter estimation of induction motor using music inspired algorithm

Abstract

In this dissertation work, parameter estimation of induction motor is being carried out using harmony search algorithm. The parameters are estimated based on maximizing the starting torque and efficiency respectively. Both the classical as well as intelligent methods are being reviewed for parameter estimation of induction motor. The efficacy of harmony search algorithm is being test using some standard non linear functions. Later on this rotor side parameters are obtained by maximizing the torque where as rotor and stator copper losses are reduced by considering maximizing efficiency as objective function.
